Is this how we should be landing planes? by penguinpablo

Think again: Airports with circular runways. Will this be the future of aviation? At first, it may sound like a recipe for disaster, but Dutch Aviation expert Henk Hesselink of the Netherlands Aerospace Centre believes this could revolutionize air travel.
## Circular Runways
The 3.5-km-wide circular strip with banked sides will be be equal in length to three straight runways, but has the ability to operate at workload of 4.
Thanks to the round shape planes can land and take off at any point in the circle. This makes sure planes can always land in a headwind, altering their point of touchdown depending on which direction the wind is traveling. No more difficult maneuvers in harsh weather conditions such as crosswinds, right?

Here's how it would look and operate:

I think it's an idea worth researching more﻿. What do you think?

The first flight tests are done, now it is time to get more detail in it, but it works!!!!!!!

Now the next step was done, landing the Antonov 225 Mrija was possible.
